Overview
The Wood Elvesare a once-immortal species of humanoids that reside in the country of
Faymalia, created by the Goddess Elara to live lives of rich bounty under their Deity. The Heavensblight ended their immortality, and now while Elves have miraculously long lives, they will eventually die, grow old, and perish. Wood Elves are renowned for their grace and agility; some of the finest generals the mortal realm has ever known have been Faymalian Wood Elves. The Ranger General leads them but follows King Winma Luinsul. They typically live throughout the woods of Faymalia, guarding and defending it.
Culture
The Wood Elves tend to be rougher than their
High Elvenn cousins (though still elegant as compared to other races) and often focused on fighting but also enjoy folk music and woodland cuisines. Culturally the Wood Elves need to adapt to centuries of discrimination against them from the High Elves, who generally consider themselves greater. This has caused conflict and hostility but never outright fighting. Institutions such as
Falendria Academy have sought to change this culture by encouraging diverse teaching and student groups to bridge the gaps between the races.
Government
The Ranger General, previously Amaris and now her daughter, the
Champion Celimene, leads the Wood Elves but ultimately still answers to the King.
